Standalone Photovoltaic Fed Water Pumping System with Better Performance Using P&O MPPT Techniques

The proposal’s key idea is to build a solar power system that Indian farms would employ. With the ability to pump water from rivers or other sources, this solar device will do away with the need for diesel-powered pumps, which is a costly farming practice. This new solar gadget should have a reasonable and cost-effective capacity to pump water into the ground for irrigation purposes. Many farmers in India currently use diesel engines to fetch water from sources for their agricultural needs. However, overcoming the drawbacks of diesel engines requires routine maintenance and repair, which costs farmers a lot of money every day. I picture solar energy replacing the diesel engine. Additionally, the solar energy system is useful for lighting up the farm at night in addition to creating electricity that will be used to pump water into the farms. Energy from the solar system is drawn from a reliable source, particularly in India. It will be a safe, clean source of energy that won't endanger the environment or the natural world. Additionally, it won't affect the planet. The developed system is a complete standalone system in which electrical power from the solar module is directly supplied to the induction motor drive. The proposed system uses a three-phase induction motor drive with a water pump and solar module to generate electrical power to operate the motor drive and pump. For the operational point of view, P&O technique was chosen from a comparative study of various MPPT techniques. In the proposed system, for attaining peak power from solar modules even in a variety of irrigation conditions the technique called P&O is used. P&O achieved maximum capacity output from solar modules and produced the necessary torque and speed even at low radiation.
